"Showtime installed my theater over 15 years ago and did a great job. Since then I have done a couple upgrades with them including an upgrade to a laser projector and 4k HDR system that is absolutely amazing. Great Service. John McEntee Fullerton California"

"I called to schedule a 1-hour in-home computer tune-up.  The person I spoke with seemed very professional and we made an appointment for 3:30 pm the next Friday.  ON the day of the appointment, my husband got a call at 9 am from someone who said he was coming to our house and was going to late.  The guy calling had trouble explaining who he was, but my husband figured out eventually that he was coming from Geek Choice and that he thought the appointment was at 9 am.  My husband explained that I wasn't home and that the appointment was actually scheduled for 3:30 pm.  The technician was pretty upset - despite the fact that he was half an hour away from our house at that time.  But he did agree to come at 3:30 pm.
At 3:50 pm, no sign of him.  I called to see what was going on.  He didn't apologize, just said he was caught in traffic -- that Friday afternoons are a bad time to be on the highway.  At the time, he was so far away that even without  traffic it would have taken him 30 minutes to get to our house.  I said we would need to reschedule and he seemed shocked.  I decided that with that level of customer service, I would just find someone else.

"Joseph - the owner of BHI - was professional and knowledgeable of the product he was installing. He was clean and took great care working in my home. The install was complete including setting up the app. His pricing was more than fair for service provided. I would hire again, I would highly recommend his services without any hesitation."

"Shlomi is fantastic! He handled every detail including ensuring that the end product looks TERRIFIC. 
Our installation was very complicated. Each of the two TVs has a unique set up but they also share a full home speaker system. 
We put a mirror (with a frame) over one of the TVs and he even handled that perfectly. 
He and I discussed different little aspects of the plan multiple times to make sure everything was exactly the way that I wanted it. 
It looks, sounds, and operates GREAT.

"Amazing! From the quote process to appointment to installation. Their price is more than fair compared to other companies, and they are very responsive. Arrived in a timely manner. The installation was very clean and neat and went above and beyond what I expected. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a professional and personable tv installer."

"Reel Time Sight and Sound is just the best!!!  They did an awesome job!!! Inside of a week, they wired and mounted an outdoor television and speakers, installed a 7.1 surround system and LED dimmable lights in our living room, and mounted a 65" television onto our STONE fireplace!!! All that, and we don't see a single wire or cable (my wife is very happy about that)!!! When they were done installing, they programmed our new remote, walked us through the new system, and even patched the walls where they needed to cut!
Anyway... If you're looking to do a project like this, I couldn't recommend these guys more!

FAQs for home theater system or media center installation projects in Rancho Santa Margarita, CA

For those on a budget, a home theater system can be installed for as little as $5,000. This simple setup, which doesn’t require professional installation, includes essential components that provide reliable visual and audio performance. It's a budget-friendly way to enjoy movies, TV shows, and live events from the comfort of your home.

Plan to spend at least $70,000 for a high-end home theater. At this price point, you’re paying for advanced components, including flagship projectors, reference-grade speakers, dedicated subwoofers, robust A/V receivers, and professional installation. These features deliver outstanding picture quality, rich surround sound, and a polished finish. Costs climb quickly when you add custom seating, acoustic treatments, and smart-home integration, so ask your installer for a detailed estimate before committing.

The ideal screen size for optimal home theater viewing ranges between 100 and 120 inches. A well-proportioned home theater room measures 24 feet by 15 feet, with a minimum ceiling height of nine feet. However, smaller spaces, such as 15 feet by 20 feet or 10 feet by 12 feet, can also work well. These dimensions enhance acoustics and visual performance, creating an immersive entertainment environment.

A well-built home theater room should last as long as the house, but the electronics inside need periodic attention. Plan to review your equipment every four to five years to see whether new formats, connection standards, or performance upgrades justify a change. Upgrading outdated projectors, receivers, or streaming devices keeps the system running efficiently and prevents compatibility issues, all while protecting the investment you’ve already made in the space.
